Alok Verma’s CBI director post was snatched back from him within 36 hours. The cuckoos coo that the reason being Verma’s abrupt decisions of transfers of officials.
One such decision taken by Verma was of removing PMO’s pet Nageswar Rao from his important case. This did not go down well with the central government. The BJP high command had earlier agreed on letting Verma stay on his post till January 31 so that he can complete his tenure and retire, and so that the opposition could also point no fingers.
The birds sing that Verma was confident that High Level Committee can only appoint one for two years, while the removal from post requires a full investigation. Here the PMO made Verma realise its power in one blow.
